Abel Ferrara: questões de estilo. 2020, 143p. Dissertação (Mestrado) – Escola de Comunicações e Artes, Universidade de São Paulo. A dissertação examina os longas metragens Vício frenético (Bad Lieutenant, 1992) e The Blackout (1997) do cineasta americano Abel Ferrara (Nova York, 1951 - ), tomados aqui como pontos altos daquela que costuma ser considerada a década mais rica de sua carreira (a de 1990). Nos dois primeiros capítulos, propõe uma análise imanente dos dois filmes, seguida de uma comparação entre eles e dois outros com os quais eles travaram um diálogo maciço: Mean Streets (Martin Scorsese, 1973) e Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958), respectivamente. No terceiro capítulo, a abordagem comparativa ganha o primado, e confronta The Blackout a um grupo de filmes de Michael Mann, David Lynch, David Cronenberg e John McTiernan que, cada um a seu modo, convergem ou rimam com suas questões e com seu universo estético. O horizonte destas análises imanentes e destas discussões comparativas é o de perceber o lugar central do projeto de Ferrara numa certa vertente (posterior à Nova Hollywood) do melhor cinema industrial americano contemporâneo. Palavras-chave: Abel Ferrara; cinema norte-americano contemporâneo; Bad Lieutenant; The Blackout. vi ABSTRACT FELTRIN, R. Abel Ferrara: questões de estilo. 2020, 143p. Dissertação (Mestrado) – Escola de Comunicações e Artes, Universidade de São Paulo. This work explores the feature films Bad Lieutenant (1992) and The Blackout (1997) by American filmmaker Abel Ferrara (New York, 1951 -), taken here as highlights of whic is usually considered the richest decade of his career (1990’s). In the first two chapters, it proposes an immanent analysis of the two films, followed by a comparison between them and two others with which they engaged in a massive dialogue: Mean Streets (Martin Scorsese, 1973) and Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock, 1958), respectively. In the third chapter, the comparative approach takes precedence, and confronts The Blackout with a group of films by Michael Mann, David Lynch, David Cronenberg and John McTiernan who, each in their own way, converge with their questions and with their aesthetics. The horizon of these immanent analyzes and these comparative discussions is to perceive the central place of Ferrara's project in a certain strand (after New Hollywood) of the best contemporary American industrial cinema. Keywords: Abel Ferrara; contemporary American cinema; Bad Lieutenant; The Blackout. vii SUMÁRIO Introdução ............................................................................................................................... 1 Capítulo I.

O rei de Nova York (King of New York) o projeta para um público maior e conjuga o sucesso de público com o de crítica. O que se viu a seguir, de 1990 até 1998, foi talvez o seu apogeu formal e criativo, traduzido em alguns dos melhores filmes de sua carreira. Vício frenético (Bad Lieutenant, 1992), Os Invasores de Corpos: A Invasão Continua (Body Snatchers, 1993), Olhos de serpente (Snake Eyes / Dangerous Game, 1993), O vício (The addiction, 1995), Os chefões

  • Abel Ferrara
    A FILM BY Abel Ferrara Ray Ruby's Paradise, a classy go go cabaret in downtown Manhattan, is a dream palace run by charismatic impresario Ray Ruby, with expert assistance from a bunch of long-time cronies, sidekicks and colourful hangers on, and featuring the most beautiful and talented girls imaginable. But all is not well in Paradise. Ray's facing imminent foreclosure. His dancers are threatening a strip-strike. Even his brother and financier wants to pull the plug. But the dreamer in Ray will never give in. He's bought a foolproof system to win the Lottery. One magic night he hits the jackpot. And loses the ticket... A classic screwball comedy in the madcap tradition of Frank Capra, Billy Wilder and Preston Sturges, from maverick auteur Ferrara. DIRECTOR’S NOTE “A long time ago, when 9 and 11 were just 2 odd numbers, I lived above a fire house on 18th and Broadway. Between the yin and yang of the great Barnes and Noble book store and the ultimate sports emporium, Paragon, around the corner from Warhol’s last studio, 3 floors above, overlooking Union Square. Our local bar was a gothic church made over into a rock and roll nightmare called The Limelite. The club was run by a gang of modern day pirates with Nicky D its patron saint. For whatever reason, the neighborhood became a haven for topless clubs. The names changed with the seasons but the core crews didn't. Decked out in tuxes and razor haircuts, they manned the velvet ropes that separated the outside from the in, 100%.

  • Female Authorship in the Slumber Party Massacre Trilogy
    FEMALE AUTHORSHIP IN THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE TRILOGY By LYNDSEY BROYLES Bachelor of Arts in English University of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM 2016 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS May, 2019 FEMALE AUTHORSHIP IN THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE TRILOGY Thesis Approved: Jeff Menne Thesis Adviser Graig Uhlin Lynn Lewis ii Name: LYNDSEY BROYLES Date of Degree: MAY, 2019 Title of Study: FEMALE AUTHORSHIP IN THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE TRILOGY Major Field: ENGLISH Abstract: The Slumber Party Massacre series is the only horror franchise exclusively written and directed by women. In a genre so closely associated with gender representation, especially misogynistic sexual violence against women, this franchise serves as a case study in an alternative female gaze applied to a notoriously problematic form of media. The series arose as a satire of the genre from an explicitly feminist lesbian source only to be mediated through the exploitation horror production model, which emphasized female nudity and violence. The resulting films both implicitly and explicitly address feminist themes such as lesbianism, trauma, sexuality, and abuse while adhering to misogynistic genre requirements. Each film offers a unique perspective on horror from a distinctly female viewpoint, alternately upholding and subverting the complex gender politics of women in horror films. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. 'It all happens here:' Locating Salvation in Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant Abstract Bad Lieutenant offers a both a narrative and a theology of salvation. Both are focussed on the death of the Lieutenant at the end of the film. This essay traces these accounts of salvation and finds that they are both flawed, in nature and scope. These flaws derive from an exclusive focus on the death of the Lieutenant and the cross of Christ as the loci of salvation. The value of Ferrara's work is in the articulation of these flaws, as they point to dangers for Christian theology as it seeks to articulate the salvation offered by Christ. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss1/4 Taylor: 'It all happens here' At the end of Abel Ferrara's film Bad Lieutenant (1992), the Lieutenant (never named and referred to in the credits simply as Lt) sits in his car in front of a sign that reads 'It all happens here'.

From helping with making informed decisions about a new movie script with respect to aspects such as its origi- nality, similarity to other movies, or even commercial viability, all the way to offering consumers new and interesting ways of viewing the final movie, many stages in the life-cycle of a movie stand to benefit from Machine Learning techniques that promise to reduce human effort, time, or both.

  • Geometry of Force: Abel Ferrara and Simone Weil Tag Gallagher
    Geometry of Force: Abel Ferrara and Simone Weil Tag Gallagher Uploaded 30 June 2000 7165 words Abstract The true hero, the true subject, the center of the Iliad is force. Force employed by man, force that enslaves man, force before which man's flesh shrinks away. In this work, at all times, the human spirit is shown as modified by its relations with force, as swept away, blinded, by the very force it imagined it could handle, as deformed by the weight of the force it submits to.... To define force-it is that x that turns anybody who is subjected to it into a thing....It makes a corpse out of him. Somebody was here, and the next minute there is nobody here at all...From [force's] first property (the ability to turn a human being into a thing by the simple method of killing him) flows another..., the ability to turn a human being into a thing while he is still alive. He is alive; he has a soul; and yet-he is a thing....And as for the soul, what an extraordinary house it finds itself in! Who can say what it costs it, moment by moment, to accommodate itself to this residence, how much writhing and bending, folding and pleating are required of it? It was not made to live inside a thing; if it does so, under pressure of necessity, there is not a single element of its nature to which violence is not done.... Perhaps all men, by the very act of being born, are destined to suffer violence; yet this is a truth to which circumstance shuts men's eyes....They have in common a refusal to believe that they both belong to the same species: the weak see no relation between themselves and the strong, and vice versa...

Often working in collaboration with out-of-bounds actors like Harvey Keitel, Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe, Ferrara rose above the seedy sex and violence to metaphorical and often allegorical levels by exploring good and evil, often through the use of religious iconography.
